One thing the Great Recession has taught me: It stinks to be a big idea person when you also have to cover the role of the implementation team. Lots of great ideas…with the double blessing of figuring out how to get them all done.

I Did. How About You?
Have you ever had one of “those” days? Deadline x1 becomes deadline x3 “Could you help with this? Shouldn’t take but a few minutes…” Which it doesn’t. Which it never has, in the history of mankind, by the way. Printer breaks. Email breaks. The person you must get a signature from isn’t in town. You […]

By Popular Demand: “Are You Kidding Me?!?”
I have to check on J’s house, I told The Boy at 9 a.m. Mind you, I told him this while wearing three layers of clothes, socks, slippers, a quilt and a cat. It’s icy, he said. Schools are closed. You’re working from home. Obviously, conditions are not ideal. It’s important I check on J’s […]

More Fruity Randomness…
And from hilariously comedic British minds, I’d like to share: My Blackberry Is Not Working. (For those not in the know, “Orange” is a mobile service in the UK.)

Things that have amused/bemused me this week: The delivery of homemade cookies to our office by building management. Which was only topped by the comment, I hope we ordered enough. (Let’s see..you’ve delivered five dozen cookies for our 19 people in the office. I think we might just scrape by.) Discovering that I’ve signed up for […]
A Major Crush
{Warning: Diverting from my usual politics-free posting.} I told The Boy last night that I need to remember to send the Dallas mayor, Tom Leppert, a note thanking him for his service to our city. He’s just announced that he’s not going to run for another term – opening speculation that he’ll likely run for […]
Slow=Fast
Who would have thought I could be so productive while doing so little? This weekend was all about getting rest. Well, there was that 18-mile run on Saturday. But other than that, it was all about rest. Really. Some of it was forced rest – the body’s way of saying that it needed time to heal […]
